Emma’s thankful heart
No one knows what life will bring, but at this moment, I’m thankful that you are the ones by my side.
世事變幻無常，但感恩這一刻，在我身邊的，是你們。
Fireworks
No one knows what tomorrow will bring, but I’m thankful for all of you. You are all unique and make the present moment all the more precious.
沒有人知道明天會發生什麼事，或好的或壞的……我感恩身邊有你們，每一個獨一無二的你，令此刻變得更加珍貴。
I don't have to own flowers to enjoy them
不用擁有那件東西，單單喜歡，都能帶給你快樂
Flowers
When we like something, we feel like we have to buy that thing, because owning it brings us happiness. But sometimes there’s happiness in just liking and admiring something without owning it! Flowers by the road side are pretty just where they are. I can just stand there and spend a moment admiring its beauty. And that’s enough.
很多時候，當我們喜歡一個東西，會習慣性的買下來，以為擁有那個東西就能帶給我們快樂。但是有時候，只是單單喜歡、單單欣賞那個東西，就已經令人快樂。像路邊的小花，也一樣很動人，駐足欣賞，不一定要是屬於自己才算擁有。
Once again, when the sun rises, when the sun shines over the earth, it lights up my heart.
縱使有諸多不幸的事發生，仍可看到陽光照下來的美麗
Sunrise
Every day bad things happen around the world, whether it be natural disasters, or man-made disasters. I know things won’t necessarily get better tomorrow. But when I see the sun rise, it always lights up my heart and brings me hope.
在這個地球上，每一天都有很多不幸的事發生，無論是天災或是人禍。我知道可能明天事情也不一定會轉好，但當我看見太陽升起，當陽光灑遍大地，依然照亮了我的心，再次帶給我盼望。
Being able to think - to imagine, to reason, to solve problems… that's an awesome thing !
有思考的能力是一件很捧的事
Think
How amazing God’s creation is! Our brains are small, but they can think, imagine, question and solve problems… Kids are always curious about the world. And as adults, there’s still so much to learn and discover!
神的創造真的很奇妙，小小的腦袋可以去思考、想像、提出疑問、解決問題…… 小孩子對世界總是充滿好奇，縱使長大了，我們的人生也一直學習、還有很多東西等待我們去發掘！
Even when I’ve given up on myself, you still won’t give up on me
艱難到我已經想放棄的時候，你仍不放棄我
Give up
When I’m too tired to keep going, friends are always around to support me.
累到想放棄的時候、灰到覺得無力走下去的時刻，仍有朋友在身旁鼓勵扶持。
When I’m at my worst, thank you for accepting me
當你發現自己在最差最失敗的時候，仍有人包容這樣的你
Soup
One of the best things in this world is people who accept you despite all your mistakes.
這個世界其中一樣難得的事是當你犯錯時，身邊的人的包容、不計較、不記在心。
We aren't the richest people in the world.
But we have the fluffiest pancakes in the world !
朋友和鬆餅都是生活中 最簡單的快樂
Pancake
You don’t have to be rich to have pancakes! Simple, small things are enough to make you feel like the happiest person in the world. Having a meal with someone you like makes any meal taste even better! Sharing our ups and downs with someone is a simple but great thing.
你不用成為最有錢的人，才可食到最美味的鬆餅！有些生活中的簡單小事，也可以令人感到無比幸福，如果和你喜愛的人一起吃飯，那一定加倍美味！可以一起分享、一起分擔是一件看似微不足道的幸福大事！
Always believe… something wonderful will happen
相信 總有美好的事會發生
Firefly
For the longest time I thought nothing good would ever happen. But later, I realized that despite all the bad stuff happening, good things also happened. I remind myself not to stop hoping. Even though the night is long, I need to keep believing.
在一段很長的時間裡，我覺得將來好像不會再有好的事情來臨。後來我發現，縱使有很多不好的事，但其實也會有好的事。我提醒自己不要放棄去擁有盼望的權利。縱使多漫長的黑夜、也要去相信總有美好的事會發生。
When life gets complicated you find yourself understanding much more than you did before
當你遇到不同的難題，感受、領悟到的東西會比從前多
Complicated
We don’t face a lot of difficulties as a kid. But as we grow older, people and things we encounter become complicated. We experience more, and learn more. We have stronger and clearer opinions of our own.
我很記得有一首詩『少年不知愁滋味，愛上重樓。愛上重樓。為賦新詞強說愁。而今識盡愁滋味，欲說還休。欲說還休。卻道天涼好個秋。』-辛棄疾。年少時不會面對那麼多的難題，未必明白那麼多詞語的意思或是未能了解別人的感受。長大後，遇到的人和事都複雜了很多，所以對人生的體會、領悟到的道理愈來愈多，也比較有自己的看法和見解了。
Sometimes you’re braver than you thought
有時候你會發現自己比你想像的更有勇氣
Brave
It’s scary facing an evil situation. But if we have a strong belief or a need to protect the vulnerable, you will find yourself braver than you thought.
雖然面對比自己惡的人或事會很驚慌，但當我們找到一些很重要的信念、很需要去保護的人，你會發現自己比你想像的更勇敢。
When the wind speaks softly and tenderly, where you understand my heart, I will stay and listen.
感恩總有人明白你，靜靜的陪伴你
Forest
Sometimes it’s hard to put into words what you’re feeling. But things become clearer with time. I hope you can walk into a quiet forest, and listen to your own voice. When the wind blows, listen and you will understand yourself more.
有時候，內心的感受很難用言語說出來，但時間會幫助你，一點一點的沈澱。希望有一片令你安心的森林，慢慢的，靜靜的，讓你傾聽你內心微弱的聲音。當風這樣溫柔，當你靜靜聆聽，你會更加明白你的心。
Winter is the reason hot chocolate is so warm and amazing
就是因為冬天，熱可可才這麼溫暖美好
Hot Chocolate
In the summer we don’t experience the feeling of “warmth”. Usually we look forward to feeling cool. It’s only in the freezing cold winter that we get to feel the fuzzy, cuddly, snuggly feeling of “warmth”. If we drank hot chocolate in the summer, we’d just start sweating all over. And if it wasn’t for the cold harsh winters, simple joys wouldn’t feel as precious.
夏天的時候，很難感受到溫暖，可能會比較容易找到涼快的感覺。只有在寒冷的冬天，抱著熱可可，才能感到溫暖窩心，要是在夏天喝熱可可，只會覺得熱到出汗。可能就是如果沒有艱難的日子，平凡的時光就沒有那麼可貴。
